  1. Reparations would destroy, not only the US economy, but would also destroy black American's too. What good has welfare been for blacks (or any people) as a people? It's destroyed their self-worth and purpose.

  2. Anyone obsessed with and demanding reparations for slavery, is mentally still a slave.

  3. Let's make a deal. Reparation payment for any and all blacks who give up their citizenship and return to Africa. It would be expensive in the short-run, but ultimately pay-off, for the US. America would be way better off, getting rid if it's forever complaining, no ambition, non-contributing, free-loaders in the long run. Any who chose to stay and refuse the reparation payment, would be just the opposite and would be better citizens. Getting rid of all the loosers and keeping the best. Let's make it happen.

  4. Black myth. "America amassed huge wealth as a result of slavery." Slavery was a huge net loss for the US.

  5. Since we're tallying up bills of what's owed by the different racial groups, I think America has a bill for black Americans too.1) Let's start with the cost of never ending welfare paid to blacks for the past 100 years, in the form of money and housing, etc. 2) Next, the cost of crime and incarceration (blacks are disproportionately the greater committers of crime), including far greater murders of whites by blacks. 3) Last but not least, the number of dead Americans who paid with their lives to free the slaves during the civil war, over 360,222. Why don't we just call it even and move forward.

  6. Since we're talking about ALL Americans footing the bill to pay reparations, let's tabulate how equitable that might be. If we count all Americans (which we have to, if we want all Americans to pay reparations), at the height of slavery, only 1.4% of Americans owned slaves. This souds so ridiculous to most people (even blacks who support the idea of reparations) that they're now including reparations for the racial laws from more recent history. I'm pretty sure, all the expenses black Americans have cost the US taxpayers over the last 100 years (welfare, crime, etc.) have more than covered that. It's time to move forward.

  7. While you're after reparations for slavery, shouldn't you also be getting reparation payments from your fellow Africans, who enslaved you in first place? Maybe the most equitable idea so far would be for them to repay you in the form of African land, so you can emigrate back to Africa. You guys hate America any way, and it's such a horrible place to live and so racist, so why would you want to live here? Plus, if white Americans "stole" this land anyway, by staying here, you're an accomplice, so in order to not be a hypocrite, it would be best if you all left. It's a win win for everyone.
